NBO the company owned by Shallandra Singh who also runs many property businesses overseas, including Australia, New York, Canada and Mumbai India. Mainly hotels and serviced apartments. Two years of working in Management I only met Shallandra 2 or 3 times as he mostly resides between New York and Sydney and also stays in New Zealand from time to time.

The way we were sacked from NBO was totally unfair and unjust as we had served his company with all our loyalty and hard work. But in the end it came down to him always having complete control over everybody who works there.

It is all about him being rich and powerful and thinking he owns everyone. Now that I am not working there I can tell you that his lawyers until recently advised him to take these negative blogs seriously.

He has hired 2 prominent NZ law firms to deals with your blogs. It seems they have found good grounds to take you to court. Defamation, loss of income, misleading & unfair practice is all on the table.

It is believed that a six month investigation against you has been going on and letters will be served to you anytime now. One of the reasons why the company did not take any action against you up till now was that they wanted to make sure that the company had concrete evidence against you. They are going to link all your and your husbands business activities of any kind in order to make you pay the maximum price. Without saying anything that might put me in the heat, all I can say is that if only you were more careful about what you wrote. eg, not putting company logo’s, his photo and saying it is a scam operation especially when the Commerce Commission had cleared his company from any wrong doing etc. Also his Australian company ABOL.com.au saying it is a scam operation when there is no proof it actually is. It seems like you have made this decision yourself.

These are just some of the mistakes from you that the lawyers have found to be misleading and unfair.

The idea behind the investigation was to make you pay financially and unless it was going to be a substantial amount no action was to be taken until enough evidence was gathered. I know that financially Shallandra can afford to do whatever he wants as he makes millions from his other businesses overseas. The directory it seemed has been a business which was treated with the least of importance as it was never a business that made any thing close to what he makes overseas through his hotels and apartments etc. It seemed to us as if it was more of a sideline business. I guess the directory could have been a success as well if only he would have listened to others as well, except always himself.

Some of the things you mentioned in your earlier comments were actually quite helpful and if the company could have only listened I remember clearly that some within the company had asked Shallandra to talk to you and see how we could resolve these issues and do things which would have ultimately benefitted both the company and its advertisers, but Shallandra rejected any idea about talking to anyone and said she is a nobody and that the company one day will drain its enemies financially.

I hope you have kept evidence of all comments that are appearing on your blogs because that’s one of the issues which has been under investigation. They will try to prove that some of those comments have been fabricated by you. They are targeting each and every comment that are up there trying to find loop holes etc.

I also suggest that you find a good law firm to defend what’s coming up against you as Shallandra is going to spend whatever it takes to target you financially. Simply because he can afford to. I guess it is not about what is true or false, right or wrong, it is going to be about having good solid lawyers to deal with these issues. A good law firm can always make good look bad or vice versa, and prove it for or against someone.

I only wish I could say what I really think of Shallandra but been very careful not to put myself under scrutiny. I don’t disagree with what you are doing but whether I agree or not it has now become a matter of how you went about it. If only you had been a little bit more careful and taken some prior legal advice things would have been a lot easier for you to defend yourself.

One thing Shallandra did right for himself was that for the first time in his life he listened to his lawyers who told him that no action was to be taken against you (Sarah King) in a hurry and to give more time for you to make more mistakes so that when action was to be finally taken they would have enough concrete evidence against you in court, which now they believe they have.

Recent comments to 5nz which states Shallandra says… are also going to be questioned, quite simply because why would Shallandra put any comment with his name on it. This will go against the legitimacy of the comments that are up there etc.

Other comments like Shallandra owns NZBO or Searcha are going to be questioned as well. His lawyers mentioned that it seems like even though you set out to do good you ended up making many mistakes because if you study 5nz.com and itamer blogs it now screams of defamation, misleading and unfair practice against someone etc. Openly saying or suggesting someone is a scammer without it being proven in court. It now seems as if it is a deliberate act on your behalf, even though it may not have been meant that way.

Also mentioning that some of the other several blogs done by the company were a spam which may be true but saying it without any evidence also goes against you.

I hope the information I am supplying will be helpful for you and I don’t believe I have said anything that either goes against the company, myself or anyone else, I wish you all the best.

This is extremely disappointing news. Sonia Klair who runs NZ Look has instigated legal action against me for raising queries about NZ Look over on 5nz.com. She claims to running a legitimate business – yet your post shows that NZ Look is no different to NBO and associated sites. What a surprise!
